To improve the lives of children living with disabilities and their families by encouraging them to live, learn and play in an environment that is fostered by the principles of fun and achievement.

Novita Children’s Services was established in 1939 as the Crippled Children’s Association of SA, to care for children diagnosed with polio. Novita has grown to become one of South Australia’s premier children’s charities – and a recognised and celebrated world leader in the research, development and provision of quality services to children and families living with physical disabilities and acquired brain injuries. Novita’s job is to provide all of the support, therapy and special equipment our children need to live life to the fullest and really ‘connect with their worlds’. Novita employs almost 300 therapists that travel across South Australia to visit kids at home, at school, at kindy and even at child care to help them participate in all aspects of life and give them every opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our therapists go where the children and families need them. Whether it be at home, at kindy, at child care or at school, our expert staff, based in five regional offices right across Adelaide, ensure Novita’s services are provided in the best location to help the kids.
